OAS to Audit Salvador Voting
Rolls
The Organization of American
States signed an agreement on
Tuesday with the Supreme
Tribunal (TS) of El Salvador to
inspect the electoral register
before the 2009 presidential
elections in this nation.
The agreement was signed at OAS
in San Salvador by Salvadorian
TS President Walter Rene Araujo
and OAS Political Affairs
Undersecretary Dante Caputo.
We are trying to establish a
regulating framework to draw-up
a technical-assistance program
and strengthen the registration
mechanisms across the nation,
Araujo said.
Caputo commented that
observation of the electoral
process goes beyond establishing
whether it was clean, free, and
clear.
"It is necessary to take other
elements into account, such as
voting as ordered or payments,"
explained the official.
